Abstract: The Delta States Rural Development Network Grant (Delta) Program supports projects that demonstrate evidence based and/or promising approaches around cardiovascular disease, diabetes, acute ischemic stroke, or obesity in order to improve health status in rural communities throughout the Delta Region. HRSA collects information from Delta Program award recipients using an OMB-approved set of performance measures to provide HRSA with information on how well each grantee is improving access to quality health care services in rural communities. The respondents of this data collection will be limited to Delta States Rural Development Network Program grantees.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated total burden hours have increased to 873 hours, compared to the currently approved 24 burden hours, to reflect the time required for current Delta Program awardees to complete data collection-related training for their internal staff as well as staff within their network partnerships. There are several additional contributing factors to the increase in estimated total burden. These grantee organizations vary in data collection and reporting capacity as well as vary in the number of network organizations they must coordinate with to report this data to HRSA. Furthermore, the grantee organization and its network organizations may not share the same data collection systems/platforms. As a result, this increase in total burden accounts for the time that Delta Program awardees will need to compile and review data quality from its network organizations prior to submitting the data to HRSA.
